Major Indices Rose With Lighter Volume and Less Leadership

The Dow gained 162 points, while the S&P 500 rose 1%. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.4% as growth-related shares extend their recent outperformance.  The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 5-3 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 10 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 12 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market uptrend is under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs, but leadership has been very thin.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is making progress after rebounding above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It remains well below its 200 DMA line.

U.S. equities finished higher on Thursday as investors digested a flurry of corporate profit tallies and central bank updates. The European Central Bank (ECB) opted for a larger-than-expected 0.50% rate hike, implementing their first increase in 11 years. Treasuries spiked, with the inversion between the 10- and 2-year note yields persisting. The yield on the longer-date maturity plunged 13 basis points (0.13%) to 2.90%. In FOREX, the U.S. dollar eased 0.3%, weighed down by a stronger euro following the ECB’s rate hike announcement.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Energy shares underperforming. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 3.6% to $96.28/barrel, as elevated domestic stockpiles and rate hikes stoked demand concerns. In earnings, United Airlines Holdings Inc. (UAL -10.17%) and American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL -7.43%) each slumped after both noted a reduction in flight capacity. Elsewhere, AT&T Inc. (T -7.62%) fell  after trimming its free cash flow (amount of cash left over after expenses) forecast for 2022. Tesla Inc. (TSLA +9.78%) rose after posting better-than-feared quarterly figures and maintaining a 50% average annual production growth target.

On the data front, the Leading Economic index fell 0.8% in June following a downwardly revised 0.6% decline in May. Separately, a gauge of the business outlook in the Philadelphia Fed region unexpectedly deteriorated. Meanwhile, initial jobless claims hit the highest level since November (+251,000). In another sign of a loosening labor market, Microsoft Corp. became the latest Tech company to curb hiring plans.

G - Pulled back today for a 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss and its color code is changed top green after closing below its 50 DMA line ($116). Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 5/04/22 high plus 10 cents in the prior mid-day report. A prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal. Reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +34% on -2% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Still perched within striking distance of prior highs in the $126 area, and it faces some resistance due to overhead supply up to the $133 level. Rebounded above its 50 and 200 DMA lines with recent volume-driven gains. Reported Mar quarterly earnings +107% on +14% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 7th very strong earnings comparison. Annual earnings growth has been strong. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.
